It indexes a large number of French and foreign journals and lists articles, monographs, collective works (whose content is systematically detailed) and theses as well as websites relating to the history of France from the fifth century to 1995.
Please note that this is a work in progress. The paper volumes (1953 to 2012) will be gradually added online.
